“You’ll have to take care of the baby today，” a woman told her husband. “I’m not feeling well.”
“Then you must stay in bed and rest， dear，” her husband said. “I’ll be pleased to look after our baby.”
“Thank you. I’ll have a quiet day and I’ll soon get better，” his wife told him.
“Shall I go shopping for you as well?” her husband asked.
She was very pleased and said， “That will help me a lot. I’ll give you a list of things to buy.” She wrote the shopping list and gave it to him. “You can put the baby in the shopping cart， so you won’t have to leave him outside，” she said.
The man took the baby to the supermarket and put him in the shopping cart. At first， everything went well. But then the baby began to cry and he cried harder and harder. “Keep calm， George，” the man said. “Don’t get excited. Don’t shout， George. Don’t get mad， George.”
A woman in the supermarket heard him saying these things. She walked up to him. “I think you are wonderful，” she said. “You are so patient with your little George.”
“Madam，” the man said， “I’m George. He’s Edward.”

Angel Falls is in the southeastern mountains of Venezuela. Water falls from a mountain called Auyan-tepui of Devil Mountain. The water falls from a height of 979 meters. It ends in an area called Devil’s canyon. The water begins to fall in a tightly controlled stream. However， it ends in a beautiful white cloud of water spray.
This waterfall is the highest in the world. The local native people called it the Churun Meru. It is now called Angel Falls. An American pilot named Jimmy Angel saw the beautiful waterfall for the first time in the 1930’s. He was flying alone in a small airplane looking for gold when he saw water falling from a great height. Some time later several friends said the waterfall should be named after Jimmy Angel.
A small airplane is still the best way to enjoy this beautiful sight. You can also visit the area under the falls after a three-and-a-half-hour boat ride and a one-hour walk through the jungle. And you can see Jimmy Angel’s little airplane if you visit Venezuela. It is considered a national treasure.
Mount Fuji is on the island of Honshu. The Japanese call it Fujisan and they say it with love and honor.
Mount Fuji is a sleeping volcano(火山) about 3，700 meters high. It is the tallest mountain in Japan. Since ancient times， the Japanese people have considered it a holy(神圣的) mountain. It has also been the favorite subject of thousands of artists. Its picture has even appeared on Japanese money.
Mount Fuji is an almost perfectly shaped volcano. A crown of white snow covers the top of the mountain most of the year. Mount Fuji seems to rise sharply out of the ground into the shape most recognized as a volcano. A large area is missing from the side of the mountain. This is a result of its most recent explosion(爆發/裂) in 1707. But the missing part of the mountain does nothing to decrease its beauty.
Mount Fuji is much easier to enjoy than Angel Falls in Venezuela. On a clear day people can see it from both the major cities of Tokyo and Yokohama. The easiest way to see the famous mountain is on a train from Tokyo to Osaka. Or you could climb the mountain to get an even better look. Thousands of people climb Fujisan each summer.
